国家统计局发布2026年7月份分年龄组失业率数据
China's National Bureau of Statistics released age-specific unemployment data for July 2026. The jobless rate for urban workers aged 16-24, excluding students, reached 17.9%. For the 25-29 age group it was 7.2%, and for those aged 30-59 it stood at 3.9%. The figures were published by the financial news outlet Cailian Press and republished by Sina News.
